Ketubah update : Since its premiere in Oxford, Max was invited to take the installation to Lithuania. His journey was documented by radio producers Somethin’ Else and the project will be the subject of a BBC Radio 4 programme later this year. Watch this space for news of when and where.


Ketubah was a new production, commissioned and produced by OCM as part of the Arrivals season celebrating the music and culture of the Baltic States on the occasion of their entry into the European Union. Max Reinhardt, DJ, composer and theatrical inventor created a wedding installation developed with visual artists G-Lab, Arturas Bumsteinas & Laura Garbstiene, and percussionist Arkadijus Gotesmanas from Lithuania. The project also featured musicians Eugenijus Icanevicus, Galina Liebensteyn and Boris Kirzner (all from Lithuania), Stevie Levy and Vanya Krawczyk from the UK.

 

When is a wedding not a wedding?
Not a wedding? Vot a vedding?
Is a wedding a way out or a way in?
Which way? Oi Veh.


Ketubah is literally a marriage contract between Jews, and contracts are made to be broken. Come break the glass, drink the wine, eat the gefilte fish - at a Wilna wedding party 1914-style. Celebrate a marriage of the Past with the Present, Cinema with Klezmer, Flight with Arrival, Breakbeats with Batchans, Wilna to Vilnius, London to Lithuania. Mazeltov!

The audience (or guests) were dressed for a wedding and the night started with a ceremony for a virtual bride and groom in the foyer of Modern Art Oxford. The wedding party, accompanied by the wedding band, then processed to the Northgate Hall on St Michael’s Street where the reception got into full swing.

Commissioned and produced by Oxford Contemporary Music in association with the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture and Modern Art Oxford as part of Arrivals and the Lithuanian Season funded by the Urban Cultural Programme as part of Evolving City.
